47er

Rothwell's career is stagnating with us, surely he will want away? Bewldering really.

Tax issue I expect. Lumped them in together because Rovers lost money. Therefore overall tax bill came down.

It really is down to selection of manager isn't it? Under Venkys we've invariably taken the cheap option and ironically its cost the owners a fortune. One good decision and we'd be up now. Very few clubs spending on players like we have but sadly, the wrong players! Preston's example should open the owners' eyes if they were normal. Unfortunately.....

Ready for the promotion run-in!

Yep, no wins in 6 games are nothing unusual for us. Same old narrative really, we're the only club where results don't matter.

Ha! I think he's drifting! He's got plenty of form, not going to commit yet!

Chaddy repositioning himself after a win! Shock! After that staggeringly bad start to the season against Charlton, people were criticised for wanting the manager out after one game! It wasn't true of course, the first game was just a repeat of so many before it but its funny how one game we win can immediately change perceptions. I take the longer view myself. Whatever happened on Saturday, the manager's time is up!

That's one way of putting it. He certainly seemed to have been affected by that" assault" on him but .basically, Mowbray seemed to put the blame on him for our appalling defence rather than accepting any blame for himself. Raya was publicly singled out while others got off scot-free. No wonder Raya wanted to leave. Poor man management I thought, yet that's something Mowbray appears to pride himself on.

We could get a decent price for several of our players but I hope we don't, especially if we are not going to spend the money on players who improve the squad and/or replace them with loanees. I think the Raya transfer is a bad piece of business personally.

Let's hope you are right---"about the season of consolidation" I mean! That is clearly the best we can hope for.

Well if he's at the same level as Raya, why sell Raya? He was our player, Walton isn't! And Raya has a lot of improvement in him at his age.

Haven't been called that for----oh, must be several weeks!!

Actually you're too late---that post of mine got deleted! But it is TM you're defending because its him that's under pressure.

To put your head up TM's arse and attack "certain elements of our fan base"---the one's who know what they're talking about in my view.

He's done his job in one out of 7 games and this 7th is the one Paul and many others will judge him on! Its all okay!!! Bonkers.

1 bloody game! Didn't take you long eh?

I hope the shackles can come off the whole team, I hope Rothwell features more, I want to see Chapman given a chance. I'm sick of the negativity.

Don't fret K-Hod, we'll do this again in a couple of years! All those games which are like the first half x 2 make this game so special.

So did I. I was amazed that they didn't think the video confirmed It. Wouldn't have made any difference though. The comparison between the first 2 minutes of the semi-final against NZ and this game could not have been more stark. We were on the back-foot from the very beginning. Never really got going did we?

CINO-----Club In Name Only.

Looking like we played our final last week?

Well we've usually had leaders on the park before, the list would be almost endless. Can I suggest the problem lies with the manager who, seemingly, can't spot them. Tbh I'd always assumed he didn't want them because they might stand up to him, but what do I know?

Wide strikers obviously!

I think the problem is that posters who share the same frustration as you do, are accused of "over-reaction". Given the severity of the issues facing the club and the love we have for it, I think reactions have been very tempered. Hard to see how anyone could over-react to this situation on a forum.

Yep---give it to Johnson on a trial basis to the end of the season would be my guess at what Venkys will do. Quick and cheap and might come off.
